Hey guys,
Today I was bored and started reading some law books. It was talking about restraining orders. I read about all the conditions but wondered , what happens if you bump into the person on accident? Like for instance if you are grocery shopping minding your own business and the person that took out the restraining order comes in. Do you stop what you are doing and leave? Or if you're flying on and somehow she's on your plane, do you leave before the flight takes off?

You almost had me with your "I was bored and started reading some law books". You blew it in the last sentence by calling that person she. So, this has to be personal. What did you do and who is she?
PS. Not sure if asking legal advice is against the rules.

If you are at some place and the other person comes in, they have to leave. Immediately. This goes both ways. If you walk into a restaurant and see the other person, you need to leave. Originally Posted by MatthewOU2015

More than likely, if someone has a restraining order against you (or you against them), you should know them well enough to know their habits. Where they go for groceries, entertainment, etc. So you can avoid those places.
The absolute second you tell management that there is a restraining order between you and another person, management must ask the other person to leave or they can be held liable. Often times this will boil down to who arrived first. Grocery stores, im not sure. State fairs, Concerts, Sporting events, im not sure on either. Often times there is already a police presence and they can make the determination on site.Last edited by babalou1; 2016-01-05 at 04:23 AM.

Statistical speaking, I would wager that man-man restraining orders are quite rare, same with woman-woman. You are clearly just inciting your agenda here. Originally Posted by Puupi

Yeah because people totally read up on restraining orders at random, and totally have enough random interest in them to ask for legal guidance online.

Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.

This isn't the place for legal advice. Call a lawyer

Or better yet, stay the f*** away from whoever 'theoretically' has a restraining order against you. Originally Posted by mayhem008

Pretty much, though on occasion I do like to walk to the local law library instead of doing online research just as an excuse to get out. Originally Posted by GennGreymane

Anecdote: I read a story on reddit about a lady who intentionally applied for jobs where her ex worked. She had a restraining order against the guy, so her goal in all of this was to get him fired from these jobs. Indeed, she already had a full-time job and wasn't actually interested in working at any of these places -- she was literally just trying to screw him over.
Well, the manager realized what she was doing and called her on her bullshit. Apparently what she was doing was grounds for nullifying the restraining order. How interesting is that?Grand Crusader Belloc <-- 6608 Endless Tank Proving Grounds score! (

I think it's best to contact a lawyer directly in the real world. We can't give medical or legal advice on this forum.
